   Hi,

   not too good with php, ran into a problem.
   Ive succesfully created a template for "page x", to only show posts with category "x" onto that page,
   now I want to have "page y" to only show posts from "category y".
   I thought using the same Loop and only changing the category name would help, but it doesnt.

   What am I missing?
   posts with category "events" dont show; using this code.

   <div class="page-content">
   <?php query_posts('category_name=events&showposts=15');
   	if(have_posts()) :
   	while(have_posts()) : the_post();
   ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <div class=post-intro>
   <?php edit_post_link(Edit); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2>(Not Found)</h2>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   When you say it doesn't work, what exactly is happening?

   Try using the category ID from the events category 'cat=x' instead of the category_name argument.

   Also see Page of Posts example in the {{Pages|Pages article]].

   Also consider this technique if the goal is just to be able to access category archives while using a Page based navigation:
